    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for reducing resist height erosion in a gate etch process comprises a step of forming a first resist mask on an anti-reflective coating layer situated over a substrate, where the first resist mask has a first width. The anti-reflective coating layer may be, for example, an organic material. The method further comprises a step of trimming the first resist mask to form a second resist mask, where the second resist mask has a second width, and where the second width is less than the first width. The step of trimming the first resist mask may further comprise, for example, etching the anti-reflective coating layer. According to this exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises a step of performing an HBr plasma treatment on the second resist mask, wherein the HBr plasma treatment causes a vertical etch rate of the second resist mask to decrease.

    摘要: A technique for forming at least part of an array of a dual bit memory core is disclosed. Spacers are utilized in the formation process to reduce the size of buried bitlines in the memory, which is suitable for use in storing data for computers and the like. The smaller (e.g., narrower) bitlines facilitate increased packing densities while maintaining an effective channel length between the bitlines. The separation between the bitlines allows dual bits that are stored above the channel within a charge trapping layer to remain sufficiently separated so as to not interfere with one another. In this manner, one bit can be operated on (e.g., for read, write or erase operations) without substantially or adversely affecting the other bit. Additionally, bit separation is preserved and leakage currents, cross talk, as well as other adverse effects that can result from narrow channels are mitigated, and the memory device is allowed to operate as desired.

    摘要: A method of stabilizing the DUV resist etch rate for a gate critical dimension, especially for a CD≦75 &mgr;m. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for stabilizing a deep ultraviolet (DUV) resist etch rate by utilizing the directly proportionate relationship between the lateral erosion and a vertical etch rate. The present invention method provides control of lateral erosion of the DUV resist by measuring the vertical etch rate component. The present invention method involves conditioning (seasoning) an etch chamber with a conditioning wafer having a unique stack which results in consistent and stable DUV resist etch rates. The present invention seasoning is applied before processing of a product wafer lot for providing better control of the gate CD targeting, and thereby eliminating a “first wafer” effect.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method to fabricate an organic memory device, wherein the fabrication method includes forming a lower electrode, depositing a passive material over the surface of the lower electrode, applying an organic semiconductor material over the passive material, and operatively coupling the an upper electrode to the lower electrode through the organic semiconductor material and the passive material. Patterning of the organic semiconductor material is achieved by depositing a silicon-based resist over the organic semiconductor, irradiating portions of the silicon-based resist and patterning the silicon-based resist to remove the irradiated portions of the silicon-based resist. Thereafter, the exposed organic semiconductor can be patterned, and the non-irradiated silicon-based resist can be stripped to expose the organic semiconductor material that can be employed as a memory cell for single and multi-cell memory devices. A partitioning component can be integrated with the memory device to facilitate stacking memory devices and programming, reading, writing and erasing memory elements.
